Fantastic battery life
Haswell processors
Improved graphics
WiFi ac
While minor
The small upgrade to the stock CPU in Apple's 13-inch MacBook Air results in improved performance. The multitouch trackpad is still the industry's best
And even better
The 13-inch Air now starts at $999
Which is $100 less than the previous
New Intel fourth-gen CPUs help the updated MacBook Air achieve amazing battery life. The multitouch trackpad is still the industry's best
The 13-inch MacBook Air now starts at $100 less than the previous model
Much improved battery life
Improved flash storage and graphics performance
Excellent battery life
Quick charge time
More than enough power for everyday tasks
Same (excellent) design and build
The same lovely keyboard Macs have had for ages
Fast enough for us
Backlit keyboard is a plus
Better graphics than last generation
The editors didn't like
No Retina screen
Not user upgradeable
Processors slower than 2012
Limited expansion options
Newer features such as touchscreens and higher-resolution displays are still missing. The ultrabook competition is catching up
In terms of design
Newer features such as touch screens and higher-resolution displays are still missing. The ultrabook competition is catching up
4GB of RAM is less generous than other non-upgradable Macs
128GB storage may be too small for some
$1099 (11in
128GB)
$1349 (11in
256GB)
$1249 (13in
$1449 (13in
Still carries a premium price tag
Need serious power? Step up to the Pro
Same (excellent) design and build
Comparatively low resolution screen
Mediocre viewing angles tell us this is a low-grade screen
MacBook Air is the lightest and thinnest; MacBook Pro with Retina has the best spec for your money
The entry-level price of the MacBook Air no longer looks so attractive when compared to the entry-level Retina model; Retina MacBook Pro is heavier than the Air
We know that a lot of people are attached to the CD and DVD but we think that sacrificing the optical drive for a slimmer, lighter laptop is a good move on Apple's part. The big difference is the inclusion of Thunderbolt 2 on the Retina MacBook Pro, ...
Lightweight, slimline design, great battery life, affordable price tag
Waiting for Mavericks, no Retina display
The design and performance make the MacBook Air a standout product among the latest crop of ultrabooks. You can run any applications you'll need for business use, including Microsoft Office, and the trackpad and Mac OS X make the Air a pleasure to use....

Design and finish, Thin (1.7 cm) and lightweight (1.35 kg), Large touchpad, Large multipoint touchpad, Quiet fan, Speakers have high volume / Quality sound through headphone output, Battery life (7 hrs 40 min)
Tendency to overheat, Low gaming capabilities, Glossy screen with extremely unfaithful colours (Delta E = 12)!, Could use more connectivity ports, Touchpad does not recognise Windows 8 touch gestures, Almost half the battery life compared to using OS X Mo
The 2013 MacBook Air 13" is faster when running Windows 8 than it is under Apple's OS X Mountain Lion. It also keeps some of the computer's original advantages such as the sound quality and thin, lightweight chassis. On the other hand, the battery life ge...

Fantastic battery life, Haswell processors, Improved graphics, Wi, Fi ac
No Retina screen, Not user upgradeable, Processors slower than 2012, Limited expansion options
Despite the swings-and-roundabouts benchmarking results, the new MacBook Air is a definite and significant step up from last year's release. The battery life is little short of incredible. Business travellers taking long flights and students who need it ...
If you're in the market for a slimline laptop, the new Air is worth consideration. Thanks to Intel's Haswell chip it's fast and it offers a very impressive battery life. The solid-state storage is nippy too, and it has 802.11ac Wi-Fi for a degree of conne...
Could Apple shrink the Air and keep the screen size or notch it up an inch or more? A full HD Air, anyone? There's probably a good reason for this ongoing big borders arrangement – rigidity, antennas and suchlike – but I think it's time for Apple to show...

Stylish, superslim, lightweight Mac laptop with amazing battery life
Fewer slots than MacBook Pro
Apple hasn't changed the exterior of the MacBook Air, and that's no bad thing because we're all rather in love with its lightweight, stylishly slim looks. The real story is in the extended battery life, which laptop users are going to love. It might even ...
Battery life! (14 hrs 25 min), Design and finish, Thin (1.7 cm) and lightweight (1.35 kg), Large multipoint touchpad, Quiet fan, Speakers have high volume / Quality sound through headphone output
Tendency to overheat, Low gaming capabilities, Glossy screen with somewhat unfaithful colours, Could use more connectivity ports
With the 2013 MacBook Air 13", Apple has set a new record for battery life that truly crushes the competition. Fourteen and a half hours! Just think of the possibilities. On top of that, you have the same thin/lightweight body, quiet fan and quality manuf...
Excellent battery life; full-sized laptop at a fraction of the weight
In comparison with last year's model the lack of speed increase due to the slower clock speed is disappointing
Apple hasn't changed the exterior of the 13-inch MacBook Air, and that's no bad thing because we love its lightweight, stylishly slim looks. The real story is in the extended battery life, which laptop users are going to love. Storage is increased in both...
